HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOPE COTTAGE sales from December 2009 and April 2019 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 2009 sale was for 70% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
